Williamsburg – Dr. Laura Ward has officially joined the Williamsburg Dental Group this summer, bringing new treatment options to the practice, including the innovative use of Botox aimed at alleviating issues related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This development marks an enhancement in the patient-centered approach of the dental group, which emphasizes comfort and satisfaction in their treatment offerings.
The Williamsburg Dental Group is committed to creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for its patients, striving to deliver a concierge style of dentistry. This approach focuses on enhancing patient comfort during visits and ensuring that all dental needs are met comprehensively. The practice offers a wide range of services, including preventative dentistry, crowns, bridges, all-porcelain veneers, and advanced orthodontic solutions like Six Month Smiles® and Invisalign®. They also provide full smile makeovers to give patients their desired dental aesthetics.
Dr. Ward’s introduction of Botox as a TMJ treatment reflects the group’s dedication to integrating advanced methods in their care strategy. TMJ disorders often lead to discomfort and pain in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. The use of Botox, typically associated with cosmetic procedures, has emerged as a potential solution for temporomandibular joint disorders by relaxing specific muscles, potentially relieving pain and discomfort.
The dental practice is situated in Virginia’s Historic Triangle, an area that has seen considerable growth in healthcare options, with the Williamsburg Dental Group standing out due to its emphasis on both advanced dental techniques and patient care. Several dentists within the group have pursued post-graduate training at the renowned Las Vegas Institute (LVI) for Advanced Dental Studies, enabling them to offer cutting-edge treatments.
In addition to Dr. Ward’s work, the practice is recognized for its efforts to accommodate patients suffering from dental anxiety. Dr. Spennato is particularly noted for providing sedation options, such as oral conscious sedation and intravenous sedation, to make dental visits more comfortable for individuals with phobias about dental procedures.
The Williamsburg Dental Group’s merging of traditional dental services with innovative treatments such as Botox for TMJ illustrates a broader trend within the dental community that seeks to enhance patient outcomes through comprehensive care. By prioritizing a patient-centric approach, the practitioners aim to ensure that all patients enjoy a pleasant dental experience while receiving high-quality care.
As Dr. Ward settles into her new role, the Williamsburg Dental Group continues to redefine modern dentistry within the area, addressing not just dental health but also overall well-being through advanced treatments. This shift indicates a growing recognition of the importance of comfort and individualized care in dental practices today.
With its expansive array of services and an emphasis on advanced treatment options, the Williamsburg Dental Group is well-positioned to serve the evolving needs of the community while maintaining a strong focus on patient satisfaction.
